About this property

Sapphire Reef Villa, Ocean Front on a Protected Reef, Pool, Staffed, Private

Situated on the breathtaking North Coast, Sapphire Reef Villa is surrounded by a protected reef noted for its variety of sea life and beautiful corals. There are 4 spacious bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms. The pool terrace overlooks the reef to provide 180 degrees of beautiful panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea with splashes of sapphire and turquoise. Cool off by taking a dip in the crystal-clear pool or have a cold drink in the gazebo. The villa is fully serviced with a cook, housekeeper and grounds keeper. The location is ideal as we are near some of Jamaica's best-known attractions, such as Dunns River Falls, Mystic Mountain, Swimming with Dolphins, Blue Hole, Blue Mountain hiking or biking, golfing etc. The villa is on the main road which provides easy access to all local attractions, cultural events and shopping.
We have WIFI, cable TV, DVD's and board games.
Guests have exclusive use of the property, pool and grounds. The villa is a great escape for families, friend get togethers, honeymooners or even better for 2nd honeymooners.
Nestled off the sea, the trees and garden cover provide complete privacy for our guests to enjoy the sun and night sky.
For peace and relaxation, there is jetty/pier at sea level for snorkeling, swimming or just lying on a chaise lounge with a cool drink.
The water off the jetty depending on the tide is about 2-3 feet, and suitable for children and adults new to snorkeling. Beautiful colorful fish are observed right at the jetty. The reef is protected; the coral and fish are diverse and abundant.
Guests are served their meals either outside or inside dining areas. The cook will work with you on the menu as well as do all grocery shopping. Guests are responsible for all grocery costs to prepare meals.
We are 5 minutes from Ian Fleming (OCJ) airport, about 1.5 hours from either Montego Bay(MBJ) or Kingston(KIN) airports.
A licensed masseuse is available to provide their services on the pool deck while gazing into the blues of the sea. A beauty shop nearby for mani-pedicures.
Snorkel in front of the villa, no need to schedule a time, just walk down to pier. Snorkel or swim (5 minute walk) to Marley Beach, a small sandy beach and pier. Beaches such as Sugar Pot Beach, James Bond Beach or Pleasure Cove Beach are within 10 minutes by car.
Spectacular sunrises and sunsets are viewed throughout the villa including ocean side bedrooms. Imagine waking up to a Caribbean sunrise, sipping Blue Mountain coffee, while watching the fishermen go out to sea.
Get your camera ready and see you soon.

Excellent villa and vacation

Sapphire Reef Villa is aptly named: the reef is truly this colour! The villa is as described by all the positive guests before us - beautifully appointed inside, very spacious and ideal for a family or 3 couples wanting privacy. The grounds and out side areas are lovely, the pool fab. It is spectacular to have small areas of reef literally right off the landing jetty - you see a wonderful array of marine life right there. This was a revelation to us. One day the wind dropped enough for lovely Jahvan to take us out across the reef, allowing us to experience a greater variety of corals. Adrian cooked us so many delicious dinners, introducing us to loads of local ingredients and quickly gauging our tastes. The mango tree at the entrance is dripping with fruit right no (March-April). Adrian also prepared breadfruit from the garden. We used Turner taxi for the airport runs but Bunny for local trips - such a hoot! We had a magnificent day in the Blue Mountains with him; plus trips to Konoko Fall and a couple of visits to Ocho Rios and the environs. The villa feels totally safe and private and we can vouch that the mosquito screens are fully effective! We were certainly aware of the road noise on and off day and night as others have mentioned, but totally worth it for the location. Sandra is really a super host - her communication throughout; the thought she has put into the house to make it comfortable - lovely soft furnishings, linens; touches like a couple of sunhats. We are very grateful for the opportunity to share her family's home for our first experience of Jamaica.

Great time in Jamaica

We had a wonderful time at this unique property. Location on the coast was beautiful - very private with our own pool and access to the ocean. Were able to snorkel out to the reefs but even staying close to the shore you can see some sealife. Property itself was great with panoramic views. Staff were great and spoiled us - delicious meals by chef, explained in great detail. We rented a minivan and did a lot of sightseeing (DunnRiver Falls, Blue Mountain coffee plantation, Worthy Rum Plantation, Green Grotto, Rose Hall). Felt very safe the whole time

A Fabulous Week

Our week in Jamaica was amazing. We traveled with 2 adult children and their spouses, my mom and sister-in-law. It was a perfect set-up for everyone, so nice every bedroom had their own bathroom. The staff was beyond excellent. Chef Mark was a pleasure work with. His ideas for evening meals and breakfasts were perfect and tasted amazing. We all loved the Jamaican authentic breakfasts, and of course jerk chicken and jerk pork meals were outstanding as well as the fish and shrimp. Latoya was so friendly and helpful with anything we needed, answered all of our questions and was so pleasant to talk with. Jamien was excellent to work with as well. He was able to arrange transportation whenever we needed it, helped us rent a boat and kept an eye on us. You can't go wrong with this property and staff. I loved all the plants in the house. The outside areas are perfect. You can be outside all day long, even if it rains. The neighborhood bar we went to was lovely and a 2 minute walk. When arriving in Montego Bay the line getting to customs is quite long but seems to go pretty fast. I'm not sure how but several groups had a sign waiting for them and they were able to bypass the long line. It sounded like they had to catch another flight. Wondering if there is a quick flight from Montego Bay to Ocho Rios. I would try to arrive in Montego Bay as early as possible to get to the property by 4 p.m.

Amazing Villa

Where do I begin describing our amazing stay in this villa? We six friends woke each morning to coffee as we drank in the beautiful and expansive ocean views. Some days we took in the adventures of the island on boat rides, at the Blue Hole, river tubing, touring botanical gardens or Rastafarian Village. Others we stayed at the villa, enjoying the pool, reading, having massages, snorkeling along the reef. At night we slept long and peacefully on the very comfortable beds. But the most amazing part of this villa was the incredible staff. Mark (the chef) not only prepared delicious meals at the times we requested, but was able to accommodate all our special needs (with one vegan, one who ate no beef, one who ate no fish) as though it was no problem at all. Latoya (the housekeeper) not only kept the villa spotless doing usual housekeeping chores, but also arranged for our massages and became a true friend as she conversed with us about families and life in general. Jamian (the groundskeeper) was so much more than a gardener, which he did beautifully. He also arranged for a dive master and boat to accompany us to the reef, and for our tour on a glass bottomed boat. All three did their jobs emitting true joy, there when wanted, but totally unobtrusive when appropriate. I should add that we were a group of six women in our sixties and seventies, a couple with limitations that come with age. This in no way stopped all of us from thoroughly enjoying this amazing Villa.

About the host

Hosted by Sandra & Michael

Why they chose this property

The view, the sea, snorkeling in the reef, the warm honest loving staff, the sound of the ocean when going to sleep or waking up, the spectacular sunrises, having morning coffee watching the fishermen and the sea, lying on pool deck identifying constellations in the night sky, the proximity to shopping and conveniences, the ease of grabbing a taxi, the freedom to engage with people and attractions when interested, feeling pampered and rested,......

What makes this property unique

On a protected reef, where you can have your morning coffee then walk down for a morning snorkel. In fact, you can snorkel at any time you feel comfortable.
Private pool, not visible by sea or neighbors, so very private.
